Trump and Clinton on the Issues That Matter to College Students

Donald Trump, in particular, has come under fire for saying Mexico deliberately sends rapists across the border, implying Hillary Clinton should be assassinated, and bragging about sexually assaulting women. But how much do you actually know about his policies? A president must have good policies in addition to good character. With that in mind, here are the candidates’ positions on just a few of the issues that matter to college students.
